"Real Housewives of New Jersey" husband Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice’s scheduled July 15 trial on charges that he posed as his brother to get a driver's license — an offense that could land him in state prison for a decade if convicted — has been postponed, according to court staff.

A source said the postponement was necessary because of scheduling conflicts involving an unrelated cases. A new trial date has not yet been set, but both sides must still appear before state Superior Court Judge Greta Gooden Brown in Paterson on Monday to discuss how to proceed.

Trial was set after Giudice rejected a plea deal in April that would have required him to serve four years.

Giudice’s lawyer, Miles Feinstein, has predicted a "lengthy trial" and, given his client’s TV fame, difficulty finding unbiased jurors. Jury selection could take weeks, and the trial could last as long as 2½ weeks, Feinstein said.

Giudice , 43, of Montville, is accused of using his brother Pietro's identity in June 2010 in an attempt to obtain a driver's license at the Motor Vehicle Commission office in Paterson. Obtaining a false driver's license in New Jersey is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Authorities allege that Giudice used marriage and birth certificates belonging to his 39-year-old brother to obtain the license.

Giudice 's license was suspended at the time for driving while intoxicated after he flipped his pickup in Montville in January 2010.

The brothers came under suspicion after Pietro Giudice was pulled over by Lincoln Park police. When the officer ran Pietro Giudice 's information through a dashboard computer, the search produced Joe Giudice 's photograph, authorities said.

Feinstein has argued that because Joe Giudice has no prior criminal convictions, he should be eligible for probation.

Giudice is married to Teresa Giudice, a cast member of the Bravo TV show, which takes place in various North Jersey locations.

Despite all the glamour, the couple has had their problems. In September 2010, Joe Giudice served a 10-day jail sentence for driving without a license in Morris County. In October 2009, the Giudices filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
